Reality Quotes (page 43)

Stephen King quote: "Time slowed and reality bent; on and on the eggman went."
Time slowed and reality bent; on and on the eggman went. Stephen King
It's just that you're about to do something out of the ordinary. And after you do something like that, the everyday look of things might seem to change a little. Things may look different to you than they did before. But don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality. Haruki Murakami
It was here that the thaum, hitherto believed to be the smallest possible particle of magic, was succesfully demonstrated to be made up of /resons/ (Lit.: 'Thing-ies') or reality fragments. Currently research indicates that each reson is itself made up of a combination of at least five 'flavours', known as 'up', 'down', 'sideways', 'sex appeal' and 'peppermint'. Terry Prachett
Vernor Vinge quote: "Tycoon had a peddler's talent for using words to redefine..."
Tycoon had a peddler's talent for using words to redefine reality. Vernor Vinge
From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living reality. Paulo Coelho
Infuriatingly stupid analysts - especially people who called themselves Arabists, yet who seemed to know next to nothing about the reality of the Islamic world - wrote reams of commentary [after 9/11]. Their articles were all about Islam saving Aristotle and the zero, which medieval Muslim scholars had done more than eight hundred years ago; about Islam being a religion of peace and tolerance, not the slightest bit violent. These were fairy tales, nothing to do with the real world I knew. Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Haruki Murakami quote: "I learned there were lots of realities in the world."
I learned there were lots of realities in the world. Haruki Murakami
If he could have his way, Satan would distract us from our heritage. He would have us become involved in a million and one things in this life–probably none of which is very important in the long run–to keep us from concentrating on the things that are really important, particularly the reality that we are God’s children. He would like us to forget about home and family values. He’d like to keep us so busy with comparatively insignificant things that we don’t have time to make the effort to... Marvin J. Ashton
Ayn Rand quote: "This was reality, she thought, this sense of clear outlines,..."
This was reality, she thought, this sense of clear outlines, of purpose, of lightness, of hope. Ayn Rand
But in reality (not in the dreams), with the horror came the inconsolable grief. For the world had broken in pieces and Psyche and I were not in the same piece. Seas, mountains, madness, death itself, could not have removed her from me to such a hopeless distance as this. C. S. Lewis
Ths visions of the mind have a debt to reality that it is hard to get the mind to pay when it is under the influence of its visions. Wendell Berry
In a sense, the better you adapt to school the less your chances are of later adapting to the actual world. So I figure, the worse you adapt to school, the better you will be able to handle reality when you finally manage to get loose at last from school, if that ever happens. But I guess I have what in the military they call a 'poor attitude,' which means 'shape up or ship out.' I always elected to ship out. Philip K. Dick
Mrs. Jo sat smiling over her book as she built castles in the air, just as she used to do when a girl, only then they were for herself, and now they were for other people, which is the reason perhaps that some of them came to pass in reality? for charity is an excellent foundation to build anything upon. Louisa May Alcott
Common bread, miraculous bread, sacramental bread-these three are distinct, but not to be separated. Divine reality is like a fugue. All His acts are different, but they all rhyme and echo to one another. It is this that makes Christianity so difficult to talk about. C. S. Lewis
Whether it is because the faith which creates has ceased to exist in me, or because reality takes shape in the memory alone, the flowers that people show me nowadays for the first time never seem to me to be true flowers. Marcel Proust
